The detective known only as Nameless is assigned to find David Virden's ex-wife, but the irate woman he finds may not be the right person, in this 38th book in the series by Shamus Award winner and MWA Grand Master Bill Pronzini. Then Virden disappears, and his current fiancée hires Nameless to find him, but what Nameless and his partner Alex Chavez uncover is enough to make even hard-boiled PIs think twice.
